Description

Utilitarianism and the Ethics of War provides a comprehensive utilitarian framework for examining the moral foundations of armed conflict. This Routledge volume addresses the two central ethical questions surrounding warfare: the justification for initiating military action and the permissible methods of conducting warfare once armed conflict begins. The book navigates the philosophical tensions between utilitarian ethics and competing theories such as realism and relativism, offering rigorous analysis of how moral principles apply to wartime decisions. It explores the specific ethical obligations and moral dilemmas faced by military personnel, examining pacifism, just war theory, and related doctrines through a utilitarian lens. Designed for students, academics, and professionals in law, philosophy, and international relations, this work synthesises complex ethical arguments into a coherent exploration of how utilitarian thinking can resolve fundamental questions about the morality of war.

Key Features

Utilitarianism and the Ethics of War applies utilitarian principles systematically to evaluate when military force can be morally justified and under what ethical constraints.

The Routledge volume addresses how realism and relativism challenge traditional ethical frameworks, providing counterarguments grounded in utilitarian theory.

This book examines the specific ethical duties and moral challenges that confront military personnel during armed conflict and peacekeeping operations.

The work covers multiple perspectives on warfare ethics, including pacifism, just war doctrine, and consequentialist approaches to evaluating military conduct.

Designed for international law, philosophy, and ethics courses, this volume synthesises scholarly debate on the moral dimensions of armed conflict.
